How to Apply

The William E Hixson Foundation wants to inspire learning by supporting organizations that think about the big picture and then know how to take steps no matter how small toward those goals. There are currently two specific areas in which we hope to inspire learning across the belt of California from the San Francisco Bay Area to Reno, Nevada: 1) Making math approachable 2) Opening mindsets through travel and outdoor exploration

On Unsolicited Proposals yes
